Getting Started

Requirements

• node >= 16.x

Installation

npm install -g @microsoft/inshellisense

Quickstart

After completing the installation, you can already run inshellisense --shell <shell> to start the autocomplete session for your desired shell. Additionally, you can bind inshellisense to a keybinding of CTRL+a by running the below command. This brings the added advantages of automatically starting the autocomplete session with your current shell and injecting any accepted command into your shell's history.
